This company is owned by Azimut out of France. They have some neat looking kits there. They use a donor kit,and make the conversion for it.

AZIMUT (http://www.phpshopxml.com/azimut.shop) is now offering a 1:35th scale multi-media kit of the French 37 mm TR16 MODELE 1917 Infantry Gun (http://www.phpshopxml.com/azimut.shop/CID/b2bc63c719d26b66c84037a227ed19a1/function/itemPageDisplay/shopItemCode/AZI10055) used by France and other nations during WW1.

(Image source: Azimut (http://www.phpshopxml.com/azimut.shop))
Some additional images of the model can be viewed at PMMS New Kit News: AZIMUT 10055 - 37mm TR16 infantry gun model 1916 (http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/newkitnews/azimut.html)
There is a well known black and white image of this gun in use by American forces without the huge flash hiders on the muzzle. I often wondered what the gun looked like as the image was always quite poor in quality and with this kit now available I can fully realize what the weapon looked like in that old photograph. Very interesting infantry fire support weapon.

Saw those. I am also quite interested in their 1/35 AMX 10 RC.
-
Would love to see a plastic kit of the AML 90 in 1/35.

I wonder how tight it would be for six troops in that compartment.
-
Put an armored roof over the passenger compartment and be done with it. Six in the back might be a bit crowded. Maybe four plus gunner and driver might be more practical.
-
I'm fairly sure I've seen what-ifs of an APC built from a Sd.Kfz. 234 that looked pretty similar to the design shown here.
-
Saw that - I am more interested in the comment "this new kit is the start of new serie deidcated to "PANZERWAFFE 46""...
Speaking of the SDKFZ 236 shown, I can imagine a version with a mortar set up in the rear.
-
Another shot of the SDKFZ 236:

It is tempting.
They have also released this one: 8X8 MOWAG w/FL 10 TURRET
(http://www.phpshopxml.com/client/azimut/tmb/BVM35137-H-266-W-400-S-91361.jpg)

That is an interesting conversion...

I wonder what the center of gravity would be like on the Mowag with that FL 10 turret?

Another interesting release from Best Value - could be useful for whiffing purposes: 1/35 M201 w/SS10 ATGM

I'm really starting to like these guys.
Latest addition: 1/35 BVM35138 - 8 rad SPW SDKFZ 234/6 w/ XT-7 "Rotkappchen"
During WWII, Germans were innovative in developping numerous long range missiles but they also produced artillery guided rocket such as XT-7 "Rotkappchen". Few hundreds were manufactured by Ruhrsthal AG and deployed against soviet armor by lat 1944-45. Since the Sdkfz 234 is a well suited base to adapt anti tank weapons, it could have been fitted with XT-7 in the frameworks of the "Panzewaffe 46" projects.
Thus AZIMUT offers in the BEST VALUE MODELS range this 8 wheeled vehicle designated SDKFZ 234/6 which is a potential evolution of the SDKFZ 234 chassis. the model is based on Italeri/PUMA chassis combining Bronco/Sdkfz 221 turret armed with XT-7 "Rotkappchen" from RPM. Resin parts include an extended hull roof, a launching ramp with sight and fire control system. Additionnally a 8.8cm Panzerschreck is included for close combat.

The turret etc has a lot of potential for other applications!
-
That is a neat idea - and the turret and deck could probably be easily adapted to the 251 halftracks, etc.
